The Naga languages are a geographic and ethnic grouping of Sino-Tibetan languages, spoken mostly by Naga peoples.
The Northern Naga or Konyak languages do not fall within the group, in spite of being spoken by Naga groups; instead, these form part of the Sal languages within Sino-Tibetan, while the Southern Naga or Northwestern Kuki-Chin languages form a branch within the Kuki-Chin languages.*Peterson, David. 2017.
